once again i have had a busy week. i have begun to try to "free stand". i am getting better at it. daddy counted to 10 once before i fell. he thinks that i will be able to do it pretty soon.
i have also begun talking, well aidan talking. i speak my own language, but i am very deliberate about it. i emphasize some words, i make faces when i talk, and i make hand gestures. i talk A LOT! i love talking. sometimes i just go on and on to anyone who will listen. usually that means mommy and daddy. they are good listeners and they talk back. sometimes in their language, sometimes in mine.
another thing i do is talk to the kitties. whenever i hear a kitty talk, it doesn't matter what i am doing. i stop, look up and make a very soft "buh" sound. sometimes i'll do it to the doggies too, but always to the kitties.
i whipped out a new voice for the week of halloween. i would speak in a hoarse, raspy sounding whisper. mommy and daddy called it my demon voice because that is what it sounded like. i started during halloween week, and only did it through halloween weekend. i haven't done it since.
for halloween i was blue from "Blue's Clues".

we had a party and all of the babies came over. if you look at the pictures and wonder why mommy was painting my bottom orange, it was because i sat on a piece of paper and made a pumpkin with my bottom! that was aunt raeanne's idea.
crawling is no sweat. i am fast!
pulling myself is not a problem. in fact i crawl on top of a container that is in my room. don't worry though, mommy or daddy always has a hand on me when i do that.
well i gotta go now. we're watching "Finding Nemo" tonight!
